Is it usual to play mid game style in pre-game?
Best post of the day!
Gah. Day is ending too fast. Didn't finish reading.
I don't know any characters in Ender's Game. I've read some books in the Homecoming (?) series. I'd like to be that telepathic stellite that puts visions in peoples heads. Trippy. I hated the main chracter that told the women they couldn't have whoopie with their hisbands because they couldn't have children born while traveling.

Well, a handful of small groups have formed. . .
- but none of them with Ender.
Precisely. We've separated him pretty well. The launch up here may not have been enough, if he wasn't as young as he is.
I guess that means it's a good thing that we're running out of time and had to force him up sooner?
Don't remind me.
Twilight phase is over. Night 1 has started and will end at 5pm (GMT -5) Monday, followed by the first day phase. Please don't post until I have made the opening post announcing who has been killed. This goes for every night.

That was messy.
Just a little scuffle. He wasn't in harm's way.
That's the thing! He's becoming too confident in his own well-being.
You're suggesting we put him in dangerous scenarios every day?
No, of course not. I just don't want him to think every battle will be as easy as it was with those boys.
Ah.
Anyway, the boy was hurt too much. He won't be able to play in the battle room for weeks.
It's okay, the third invasion isn't that soon.
You speak as if you already know who are going to be in his Jeesh.
*shrugs* It's hard no to pick up on these things after so many failed students.
Caluin Graye has been killed.
21 players remain. It takes 11 votes to lynch and 12 to lock.
It is now daytime. You may all post freely for 48 hours.

Interesting that CG was killed off. In any case I didn't have time to respond to his post, and despite his tendancy for mind games, I can't help but take the bite.
Well I had to read it a couple times to sort it all out myself. Almost didn't even remember I made that post. xD
Glad I can be of help!
I think you might have been reading just a bit too much into that drunken post. From what I remember, and from knowing how I am when drunk, that post was made just before going to bed at 4 am (the timestamp helps). The reason I took the time to do that was despite after having cleaned the table of empty bottles and beer cans, and wiping it with a wet cloth, I was too drunk to sleep. Sounds weird I know, but if I go to bed and I'm too drunk, I'll get sick in about 5-15 minutes and throw up. So to avoid that I find ways of passing time until I sober up enough to avoid it. Reading forums, making drunk posts, walking around in whichever appartment I'm in, or watching tv is several ways I've done this in the past. I guess making a drunk post in a mafia game didn't seem like a bad idea due to the twilight phase.
I just tried reading as best as my blurry vision allowed me, and noticed you were making posts in your usual style, which I found amusing considering the twilight phase.
As for the bolded part, that was me being completely aware of the terrible hangover I would have. After being so drunk I couldn't stand on my own two feet without a lot of concentration. You may ask how I knew I'd have a terrible hangover? Because I fell several times during the party, something I can't recall having done in several years. >_>
Hmm, never would have figured it out if you had not said you were drunk at the beginning

That was actually not at all what I was thinking. Bonzo was one of the other kids in command school who tried to kill Ender, I was thinking it would be kinda like the battle room with good kids (Ender+Jeesh) vs. bad kids. If going off the first book, I would put Peter in the bad camp, but off the whole series, maybe not.
Last point is true. But votes, even if they don't count, can provide clarity on who the voter finds suspicious. They can also elicit reactions that can give info on who the bad guys are. So in my opinion, still useful.
Intentional misvote because it doesn't matter in twilight, or accident in not unbolding?
Pretty sure that was Bonzo. And you must have fun friends if you discuss books like Enders Game!

Before going to bed I have a question. How many players are new to the game?
Oh and not sure if I mentioned this, but I've not read the books, so I won't be of much help theorycrafting in this game.

I've never even heard of the books, so I will be even less help.
Looking for a cult in twilight?
How do non-counting twilight votes obfuscate things?
How recently?

Hm, I hadn't thought about that. The way your post was worded threw me off a bit.
"I think the most likely mafia would be the people who oppose Ender in command school (Bonzo being the first that comes to mind)."
- Post #44
The italics being what I picked up and what made me assume you were talking about the administration, and the bold is what I glazed over and didn't really pick up.
I can see how kids vs. kids would make sense, since that was the main focus for a good portion of the book, and then the mindset of the kids changed later towards going against the administration once the rules were being skewed so dramatically.
As for Peter, in the first book he was trying to keep Ender from ever coming back to Earth. I forget why, but that was his plan anyhow.
Welcome Jason!
What do you think of the game so far?
Why was it interesting?
I'm off to bed, and with that I would like to remind everyone of the European's time zone regarding the game. As it stands, the phases start and end at 23:00, so it's possible some people won't make it to the end of the days. I haven't checked how many players are not in America, but I assume I am not the only one. Before leaving, though...
Korial's "How many players are new to the game?":
New to Mafia games or the book (which also has the word game in its title)? I qualify for the second.
Goryani's "Looking for a cult in twilight?":
I think it would be useful to known if a cult is likely due to lore connections. Should I not bother making any questions related to the game's source material?

Ahhh! No spoilers please! I've only read Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead and Peter wasn't in that one.
haha! Some RL, some Internet. That person (and to answer Gory's question) was Pharphis.
Personally, I don't see a cult here. I don't see how it would work in the first book but it's been a little while since I've read the book.
You should do what you think is best.
But I have to wonder about your alignment if your first post of the game, before any night phase occurs, contains the equivalent of: "is there a SK in the game?" or "is there a second mafia in the game?" Not even that: "Does the lore support the idea of SK/second mafia?" Lore often supports an idea not found within the game.
If someone had said "Yes, the lore supports the idea of a cult" what would you have done? Would that answer help you determine if a cult is in the game? Would that answer help you find cult members? Would that answer help you find mafia? Would that answer help you find townies?

Because killing off CG would be an efficient way of adding suspicion to both me and Drixx at the same time, considering our interaction with him in the twilight phase.
New to playing mafia.

In the ASOIAF game, we lynched a white walker, because the claim didn't match with lore. So in some situations I guess it helps. Depends on how you apply your knowledge.
Haven't I seen you playing mafia games before? :scratchchin:
